The traffic situation on Main Avenue and Schlager Street in Scranton, PA, is a tragedy waiting to happen. Innocent animals are getting hit and killed at an alarming rate, often by vehicles speeding down the road. Tragically, even when a man lost his life after being hit by a car, it seemed that no effective measures were taken to address the situation. It's hard to understand why the loss of life wasn't enough to spark a change.

Every day, it seems like cars reach speeds of 40 to 60 MPH, blatantly ignoring the 25 MPH limit. This isn't just a statistic—it's a dangerous reality for residents and anyone who calls this area home. We've all seen far too many close calls and, unfortunately, too much devastation around this intersection.

We demand that local authorities take immediate action. There are viable solutions to prevent further tragedies. Enhanced police patrols could be stationed during peak traffic times to enforce speed limits effectively. Alternatively, installing a stoplight at the intersection of Main Avenue and Schlager Street would force traffic to halt, providing a much-needed respite to pedestrians and animals alike.

This isn't just about preventing accidents—it's about saving lives. Lives that matter to residents who see this neighborhood as a safe haven. We shouldn't have to live in fear that a loved one, whether human or animal, will be the next victim of reckless driving.

Join us in urging the Scranton city officials to make this intersection a priority. Implement changes that will keep our community safe and preserve the integrity of our streets. We need your support. Please sign this petition to bring about necessary change.
